no3Ljm Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 That's not mine, guys. Just saw it on Twitter. I'm just 'sharing' the box art. Sorry. Quote
borgified Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 And first listing on Manda as of 11:55 PM PST on 28th of April. Quote
borgified Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Hacchaka's review on the "Next Best Girl's" Valk https://hacchaka.net/archives/52080960.html Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Thanks @borgified! It looks like it's still has those issues in Fighter mode. Quote
Lolicon Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Someone tell Hacchaka those canards are pushed up way too high Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 Not sure which issues we're referring to, but probably. At least one gun looks mostly lined up well, and it does look like he got the wing tabs into the legs at least. Question is how much force and/or filing it took. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 This is some screenshot I took from the first video I've found on YouTube. The arm/cannon looks better than Hayate, I think. Quote
Lolicon Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 (edited) The guns will sit straight if you don't tab them in all the way. Man, even I don't wear gloves when I handle my valkyries. Edited April 29, 2022 by Lolicon Quote
Chronocidal Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 That top picture actually looks as though it's in as far as it should go naturally, so that one does look better than my Hayate. Fingers crossed they did it. Not in a rush to find out, so it'll be a few months before I get it in hand, while I wait for other releases. Quote
no3Ljm Posted April 29, 2022 Posted April 29, 2022 This one I found on Twitter is angled down. I know the arm panels wasn't flushed properly but you can tell that the tab is tabbed in under the wing making the cannon angled down. Quote
kajnrig Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 I didn't pay close attention, was HLJ the only place to already charge customers for the Mirage 31AX? I haven't gotten a shipping request from Amiami, and I wonder if HLJ simply got theirs in early or something. Quote
borgified Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 @Sanity is Optional got charged by AJ @kajnrig as his copy just got processed. As for Amiami, it might take a while to get it ut processed when they get it. Quote

But fret not, your AmiAmi order is good as long that they didn't cancel your order. Quote

I believe you're right, as reported on Twitter, Translation: Fighter As usual, the pin of the main wing and the lock of the leg do not fit, so I have to scrape it ... The emblem on the back is beautifully printed, but if you move the container, it will be bald. There was no correction mark of the painting mistake on the nose part of the Hayate aircraft this time.

borgified Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Dang it! Non QC issue free.. Not to fussed as I can do the fixes. I’ll just leave it in fighter mode when I get it on display. Mirage’s 31c will be in battroid mode. Quote
Lolicon Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Whatever problems Hayate's 31AX had will be on all subsequent releases until the end of time, or until a decade or so passes and Bandai decides to update the mold for a nonagenarian Max to pilot his own custom 31AX. Quote

Bandai would never do something like that.... Quote

But fret not, your AmiAmi order is good as long that they didn't cancel your order. Thanks for the heads-up. And on that note, I decided to check out the order page on Amiami and there was the prompt to checkout. Either the automated shipping request (if it is automated) didn't trigger - no email in my inbox or junk folder - or it's as @Lolicon said and Golden Week has delayed them. So if you preordered through Amiami and are worried about having not received a shipping request, you might want to check your account. 13 hours ago, Sanity is Optional said: Btw, loving that exchange rate. ¥29,136 shipped, and got charged $229.55 Indeed. Even with the card fee, 29,039 JPY turned out to be something like $227 for me. This lopsided exchange rate is screwing with all my usual money calculations. Typically I just move the decimal over two spots to get the rough dollar amount, but nowadays that's overestimating by as much as... well, in this case, by over $60. Quote
Lolicon Posted April 30, 2022 Posted April 30, 2022 Yay HLJ got my Mirage out the door before taking off for Golden Week. She's in Alaska atm. Quote
orindlt Posted May 1, 2022 Posted May 1, 2022 Got a shipping request from AmiAmi - so they seem to be working through their backlog. Quote
Master Dex Posted May 2, 2022 Posted May 2, 2022 I poked Luna Park (it worked before lol) and they told me it would be shipping after Golden Week. Admittedly they didn't say when after, but it's something. Quote
no3Ljm Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 Nice shot, @hardreturn. Based on the color, atleast Bandai made it consistent. Quote
borgified Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Getting a younger/older sister chat vibe here. 31c (younger sis): "What's with the punk hairdo and the fancy out fit sis?" 31ax (older sis): "Going out in a soiree with a bunch of friends. Gotta make a outstanding impression and think outside the box right?" Edit: 31c (younger sis): "Is this what they call Haute Couture with the unusual hair style?" Edited May 3, 2022 by borgified Quote
Shukenzero Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 (edited) Got mine in this morning from Amazon JP. One side was a bit bashed The valk seems to have a better fit in terms of the tab from wing to leg. I think there’s sanding to be done, but it’s better than before. Otherwise, at a glance, seems the same. Edited May 3, 2022 by Shukenzero Quote
chriswoo Posted May 3, 2022 Posted May 3, 2022 i can't wait for it to release super/armor/ghost pack !! Quote
